Transportation of Radioactive Dangerous Goods by Air and Road

Transportation of Radioactive Dangerous
Goods by Air and Road
Both Domestic and International shipments of Radioactive Dangerous Goods must comply with the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission’s Packaging and Transport of Nuclear Substances Regulations, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Technical Instructions and in most cases the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations for tender to carriers for transport.
At Dangerous Goods Educational Services Inc., we cover all these aspects and customize each course to your specific needs.
Our Specialty courses are conducted on-site at your location to take advantage of your products, documents, and hazardous items on hand for focused examples during the training. This allows the students to apply the course material in real time to what they will be trained to do upon completion of the course.
